Parents and Students:

I want to welcome you to the 2018-19 school year at Sundance Elementary. This year’s school calendar reflects the newly adopted four-day school week. The school day will start at 8:10 AM each morning, with dismissal for all elementary students at 3:45 PM. There have been a few changes in policy to reflect our new school calendar.

The attendance policy has changed from ten absences per semester to eight per semester this year. It is important for your child’s academic success that they attend school on a regular basis. We want and need your child in school every day to maximize their learning opportunities with their teacher. I would encourage you to schedule appointments on Fridays or after school hours if possible.

The staff at Sundance Elementary are dedicated individuals that enjoy having the opportunity to work with your child. We want to continue to make Sundance Elementary your school of choice. We appreciate your continued support and dedication to our school. We will continue to enhance our practices and procedures to improve our academic success.

This handbook is designed to help you become familiar with the policies and procedures of Crook County School District #1. Our goal at Sundance Elementary is to provide your child a productive and safe learning environment. I encourage you to have an open line of communication with your child’s teacher and administration, which will allow us to provide your child a positive learning experience.

We are excited for the new school year, and we look forward to having the opportunity to work with your child. It is our goal to continue to create a positive working relationship with our school community. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Brian Hartwig, Sundance Elementary Principal
